Kobe is Mismatch for Lebron 1-on-1: Video
.
Here's a beautiful video of 1-on-1 plays between Kobe and Lebron:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JABKg2azkp0
Not surprising that Kobe was a big mismatch for Lebron: too much quickness and moves for a forward to handle.
This is similar to when Jordan was a big mismatch for taller defenders like Dennis Rodman, Grant Hill, Reggie Lewis, Clyde Drexler, Richard Dumas, Penny Hardaway, and Dominique Wilkins.
Ultimately, Jordan and Kobe were a bigger mismatch versus ALL defenders, because they destroyed all the guards, and they were too quick with too many moves for forwards like Dennis Rodman, Lebron, Dominique, Grant Hill, Boris Diaw or Kawhi Leonard.
Also, when forwards defend guards, it messes up the rotations and matchups for the rest of the team - this is an added benefit to having a SG that can destroy the other SG and force a switch.

LEBRON IN HIS ATHLETIC PRIME forced to posting up kobe from half court cause of his lack of handles

Hmm seems like he very seldom was able to actually beat LeBron off the dribble, and most of those are just very well-defended jumpers that he made.

I watched the entire video, and it's just Kobe hitting very well-defended jumpers. I like Kobe, so I'm kind of disappointed to see that even the most biased video footage (of which this is clearly an extreme example) only has Kobe beating LeBron off the dribble a small handful of times in their entire careers playing against each other.

you couldn't have watched the whole video, because kobe takes lebron to the rack a ton (1:33, 3:25, 3:51, 3:56, 4:50, 6:08, 7:24, 7:50) and posts him up all through the video as if lebron is the smaller player.
oh, and he dunks on him twice too - at the 9:16 mark and again at the 11:05 mark.
you guys and your lebron-love.. literally causes posters to lie itt.
also, the fact that lebron can't defend kobe's pull-up is the case in point - lebron has to give kobe extra room to prevent getting juked by one of kobe's infinite moves, and to prevent the blow-bys that happened at 1:33, 3:25, 3:51, 3:56, 4:50, 6:08, 7:24, and 7:50.

Lebron actually is a really good team defender. Although I just hate the fact that he has such lazy tendencies on that side of the ball, e.g. not boxing out, not closing out with a hand up and cherry picking.

A highlight video.

Prometheus proving himself to be a liar - Kobe takes Lebron to the rack at 1:33, 3:25, 3:51, 3:56, 4:50, 6:08, 7:24, 7:50, and posts him up throughout the video as if lebron is the smaller player.
and dunks on him at the 9:16 mark and 11:05 mark.
also, the fact that lebron can't defend kobe's pull-up jumper is the case in point - lebron has to give kobe extra room and respect to avoid getting juked by kobe's moves and to avoid the blow-by's that are time-stamped above - a quicker-defending guard (as opposed to a slower forward) would be able to get in Kobe's chest more and not worry about the blow-by..

It's 3ball. Expect a few over saturated gifs, incoherent fringe arguments, and repeated post over and over.

Re: Kobe is Mismatch for Lebron 1-on-1: Video
Kobe would beat MJ and vice versa.
LeBron would beat Kobe and vice versa.
Durant would beat LeBron and vice versa.
Nobody would destroy anybody. These are not legends against bums.
Anybody saying otherwise is a blind homer.

It's sad really, he's an informed poster, but decides to post on the level like dubeta on these boards.
